Good to Know: If you’re new to this exam name, MAH AAC CET stands for the Maharashtra Applied Arts and Crafts Common Entrance Test — it’s distinct from the Design Aptitude Test (for B.Design) and NATA/JEE-based B.Arch admissions. AAC CET is specifically the gateway for BFA Applied Arts, testing visual thinking, observation, and drawing-based expression rather than speed-based problem solving.

Eligibility Recap — Who Could Apply

• Candidates who have passed or are appearing in Class 12 (10+2) from a recognized board were eligible to apply

• Keep checking cetcell.mahacet.org regularly for the Round 2 schedule and updated vacant seat matrix
• Use your Round 1 allotment (which college/category you received at your specific rank) as a benchmark to plan your Round 2 preferences more strategically
